Janelle Bighinatti thrives on learning about the creative alchemy expressed throughout history, by artist friends, and in their own backyard, which they write about on their Art Blog, The Great Art of Light and Shadow. Ongoing art projects in various stages include crafting a trilogy of 8-day self-guided spiritual retreats and in-person retreats for artists, rooted in the best of modern + historic Christian monastic spirituality, to strengthen the artist (read: anyone who creates) to meet the challenges of a creative life. Photo essays that highlight the work and mission of Living History museums around the U.S., in particular their research and preservation of historical arts and industries. A series of large watercolor paintings centered around their 7-day pilgrimage walking the Camino route in Burgundy, France. A series of watercolor paintings inspired by the story of The Little Prince, and incorporating photographs they have made of antique aircrafts. A series of watercolor paintings taking detail shots they have made of ancient paintings of Mary, and creating a new image reminiscent of the look of stained glass.
